    Strawberry Raspberry Rhubarb Pie is filled with fresh raspberries, strawberries, and rhubarb in a homemade pie crust.

    Strawberry Raspberry Rhubarb Pie in cast iron skillet

    As a young girl, I vividly remember going with my parents to Krell Farm in Farmington, Connecticut to pick strawberries in the fields. Watching for snakes as you picked and putting tender ripe berries gently into weaved wooden baskets. Trying not to eat every single berry before you made it back to our farm.

    My mom was a wiz at making everything homemade, especially pies! Crust was always homemade and never these roll out crusts in the refrigerator section. She always used the pie crust recipe on the back of the Crisco can. Now that pie crust was good. But, the last few years I’ve taken the time to make a pie crust that’s so much better. Flaky, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness.

    Many of you express that you struggle making pie crust from scratch. There’s nothing to fear with homemade pie crust. Just relax, take your time and make sure to keep your ingredients cold. I’ve found that a good combination of butter and lard makes the best crust.

    Don’t overwork the dough and you’ll be fine. Personally, I love making pie crust at night. Just mix everything up, plop into a large freezer zip-style bag and let it sit overnight in the fridge to get super cold.

    The next day, you’ll find it’s super easy to roll out. Plus, you’ve made it ahead of time. Hopefully this one simple step makes your pie making the next day go smoothly!

    How to make a Strawberry Raspberry Rhubarb Pie:

    Step 1: Simply mix the fruit together with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and instant tapioca. Then, spoon that mixture into the bottom crust. Here I used a 10-inch Lodge cast iron skillet that I spray with a little cooking spray before laying the bottom crust inside.

    Step 2: Brush the entire pie with an egg wash and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for a little over an hour. I usually cut a hole in the center of a big piece of aluminum foil and place it over the pie part way through the cooking process. That way, the pie crust doesn’t get too brown and it lets the pie continue to cook. The air vent will allow steam to escape and the crust won’t get gooey.

    Step 3: Let the pie cool completely before slicing.

    Ingredients

    • Pie filling:
    • 2 ½ cups fresh strawberries halved
    • 2 cups fresh raspberries
    • 2 ½ cups rhubarb sliced about 1-inch thick
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ⅔ cup instant tapioca
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • Pie crust double crust:
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ⅔ cup lard
    • 3 tablespoons butter cold
    • ice water

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in the lard and butter until you have pea sized pieces. Add plenty of ice to a glass measuring cup and fill with cold water. Add a little cold water to the dry mixture at a time. Squeeze together with your hands. As it comes together, place it into a large Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
    • To make the pie, roll out the bottom crust. Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray or lightly brush with canola oil. Place the bottom crust into the skillet and trim the edges with kitchen shears.
    • In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb, lemon juice, instant tapioca, and sugar with a large spoon. Spoon the mixture into the prepared skillet. Roll out a top crust, cut out long strips of pie crust for a weaved top. Place three to four strips of pie crust in one direction. Gently fold back every other piece and place a strip of pie crust in the other direction. Roll under edges and press the edges down with a fork.
    • Brush with an egg wash. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 1 hour or so. Until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. If the crust is getting too browned and the pie still needs to cook more, cover with aluminum foil with a hole in the center if needed. Let cool completely before slicing so the juices can gel up.

      Amazing! I made the pie in my 10-inch cast-iron skillet; baked it for 57 minutes. It was delicious. I had already made my pie crust from another recipe, when I came across this recipe…still turned out great. Definitely recommend making either the day before or first thing in the morning to allow it to set in time for an afternoon meal. Thank you for the recipe. I will definitely use it again.

      Rhubarb always reminds me of my Grandmother! And this old fashion pie looks like what she used to make during our summer visits (although boy can you weave a pretty crust!) Will definetly be making this one, and I pinned it too!

      Do you just mix the instant tapioca with the sugar & mix with fruit?

        yes. Just mix the instant tapioca with the sugar and fruit. Then dump into your pie shell.
